Liu Runs Into Mendes
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Xiaohu Liu got all his chips in the middle from under the gun and was called by Marcelo Giordano Mendes from middle position to put Liu at risk.
Xiaohu Liu: A♣Q♦
Marcelo Giordano Mendes: A♥A♦
Liu held a formidable hand, but Mendes held the best starting hand possible, which was going to make it difficult for Liu to stay alive in the tournament.
The flop came 3♣8♠4♦, which did not offer much for Liu, and the K♥ turn and the 10♦ river were the final two cards of his tournament.
